CURRENT models of electric cars are unbelievably quiet, fast, very easy to drive, very comfortable, and cheap to fuel.

If the word ECO stands for economy why are they so UN ECO to buy?

And before you dream your electric dreams the battery packs are not projected to fall below $350 per kWh. This compares with a comparative petrol units by the same company of around $50 per kWh.

Even if electric wind energy was free, and not as it is, highly expensive, would the electric unit still make financial sense?

Probably not!
